Is it better to run in the morning or in the evening?

Many people are used to running after getting up in the morning to exercise their bodies, while some people choose to exercise in the evening. In fact, as far as running itself is concerned, it can play a good role in exercising the body whether in the morning or at night. It is better to choose according to each person's specific time and physical condition. Next, the editor will introduce whether it is better to run in the morning or in the evening.

There are obvious individual differences between different people. Their cardiopulmonary functions and physical conditions are different, so their exercise time, frequency and methods should not be the same. It should be said that the best time to exercise is not absolute, and there are definitely certain differences between individuals. If conditions permit, Zhang Tongren suggests that it is best to consult a doctor based on the health check-up form and your own work and rest and eating habits.

In addition, for office workers in cities, some are working overtime at dusk, while others are rushing home. It is very unrealistic for them to squeeze out an hour for exercise every day during this busy time.

In fact, for most people with normal physique, physical exercise can be done at any time as long as it is avoided half an hour before meals, one hour after meals, and one hour before going to bed. If you have already developed the habit of morning exercise, you will definitely benefit a lot if you persist in it. There is no need to change to evening exercise.

There is a very simple way to measure whether the exercise time is enough and whether the exercise method is suitable for you: if after exercising for a period of time, you feel energetic, have a good appetite, and have good sleep quality, and you get up early to measure your pulse, and the number of beats per minute is similar to or slower than before, then congratulations, this shows that your current amount of exercise and exercise method are very suitable; on the contrary, if after exercising for a period of time, you often feel sleepy and have poor sleep, and you get up early to measure your pulse, and the number of beats per minute is more than 6 times more than before, this means that you are exercising too much and you should make adjustments under the guidance of a doctor.

Pay attention to the "four taboos" when exercising

First, don’t neglect to keep warm. Do not neglect to keep warm when exercising, otherwise you will catch a cold. When the weather is cold, you can wait until your body warms up before gradually taking off your clothes. You don't have to take off your clothes immediately when you start exercising, and don't wait until you are sweating profusely to take off your clothes, otherwise you will easily catch a cold.

Second, avoid exercising in foggy weather. Fog is composed of countless tiny water droplets, which contain a large amount of dust, pathogenic microorganisms and other harmful substances. If you exercise in foggy weather, you will inevitably inhale more toxic substances due to the increased breathing volume, which will affect the oxygen supply. This will cause symptoms such as chest tightness and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it can cause rhinitis, pneumonia, tracheitis, conjunctivitis and other diseases.

Third, avoid breathing through your mouth. Whether you are exercising or in daily life, you should develop the habit of breathing through your nose. Because there are many hairs in the nostrils, they can filter the air and protect the trachea and lungs from dust and germs.

Fourth, avoid not doing warm-up exercises. Doing some simple limb exercises before physical exercise is beneficial for safe and effective physical exercise. Because in the cold winter, the human body is stimulated by the cold, which significantly reduces the elasticity and ductility of muscles and ligaments, and the flexibility of joints throughout the body is much worse than in summer and autumn. If you don't do warm-up exercises before exercising, it can easily cause muscle or ligament strain or joint sprain, which will prevent you from exercising normally.

Therefore, it is best to arrange when to run according to your free time. It is best to do some warm-up exercises before each run. Secondly, you should adjust the intensity and exercise time of the activity according to your physical condition. Excessive exercise intensity may also cause some discomfort to the body.
